@ Wild Horse of Chincoteague
Timothy Churchmouse begins his journey to encounter Exotic pets!
Wild Horse of Chincoteague
The wild horses of Chincoteague still run wild in a National Park, where they swim from island to island, and roam where they want! If you camp with them, be prepared to share your picnic basket, Yogi has nothing on them when it comes to stealing your treats!

@ Giant Anteater Walking

Navy Flower Power Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

Giant Anteater Walking
If I played basketball, I would be a first draft pick! My amazing height, er, length would give me superior dribbling and blocking skills, but here I am, living my dream instead, searching the plains for anthills!

@ Black Cat Pouncing
Both princess ♥ sparkles and Timothy Churchmouse loved the scenery at the next stop, and they both enjoyed introducing themselves to their new friend, who had been waiting to meet them!
Black Cat Pouncing
You cannot see me, I am the night! A black void of fluffy hair and a slow wiggle, waiting for my prey! A quick pounce and that feather duster is MINE! pixabay694730

@ Capuchin Monkey
“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Davisa Joy. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.”
“C’mon, Davisa Joy, it’ll be fine—it’s not so very big; it's a trick of perspective, and anyway, it’s looking forward to meeting us!” said Timothy Churchmouse.
Capuchin Monkey
Some of my relatives have some pretty big roles on the silver screen, we're cute! We're tiny! And full of antics and comedial relief!

@ Stallion at Sunset
"It's turned a bit hot, Timothy Churchmouse. I'm going to put my sunhat on," said Dante.
"Good scheme! I'll dig mine out as well," said Timothy Churchmouse.
Stallion at Sunset
Racing the wind along the shoreline, rearing up in victory! The setting sun showcasing my fit form!

@ Lion Tailed Macque
“It's so cool to have a species name in Latin as well as English, Timothy Churchmouse!” said Clover, studying the detail in the tour guide. "What would we each called in Latin?"
"I don't know," said Timothy Churchmouse. "We'll look it up when we get back to the hotel tonight!"
Lion Tailed Macque
If you ever come visit South India, you'll find me here, hanging out with family and friends! I know my facial expressions can be off putting, but I really am pretty friendly!

@ Dragon Fly Perching
"I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Waylon, after he and Timothy Churchmouse had spent some time exploring another rural pathway to its end and meeting nearby inhabitants.
"Is there a gift shop at the end?" enquired Timothy Churchmouse. "The thought of that generally keeps me going."
Dragon Fly Perching
When you're out paddling in your kayak, don't be surprised to find me perched on your bow.

@ Echidna Foraging
Timothy Churchmouse and Icy shook paws and said “How do you do?” to the next creature who had come to meet them, and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Timothy Churchmouse. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Icy. “Being on the right shows my best side.”
Echidna Foraging
If you can't spell Echidna, you can just type in spiny anteater! Because they are my favorite dinner! AND what makes me special, I am a mammal that lays eggs! Those platypus' get all the limelight!

@ Yellow Bellied Sea Snake
“Did you see those 2023 calendars in the giftshop?” asked Timothy Churchmouse. "Each month features one of the critters we've met on our mini-safari! I'm going to buy one to hang up behind my model Fiat 500 from Turin and my ceramic Welsh clog from our British Isles tour."
"Sounds a great idea!" agreed nicki. "I think I'll get one for my mum."
Yellow Bellied Sea Snake
If you're an unwary fishy swimming along, I'll glide over you with my camoflauged belly, and birds of prey can't find me from the air, I'm the color of the sea from the top!

@ Common Lizard
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Timothy Churchmouse!” said MooDonna. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Timothy Churchmouse good-naturedly took charge of MooDonna's possessions while she emptied her rucksack of a pack of sandwiches wrapped in greaseproof paper, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of chocolate peanuts, a paperback thriller, a bottle of orange squash, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old bus tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some very old receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and salad cream before locating the scarf right at the bottom. This she donned and then Timothy Churchmouse helped her put everything back in her rucksack.
Common Lizard
Common? Common? Are you kidding me? There's nothing common about me. Why, I'm brown and handsome, my mother told me so!

@ Cicada
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Timothy Churchmouse. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Redington glanced up from his tour guide, in which he had been looking up where they were going the next day. “How come you're so hungry, Timothy Churchmouse?”
Timothy Churchmouse pouted. "I was just unwrapping my lunch pack when a creature ran down the tree behind me, grabbed the lot and shot back up the tree!"
"Bad luck!" sympathised Redington. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

Cicada
Well, not just an ordinary cicada, I'm a Canthgaster Cicada! Look at me with my nose in the air, why, some might think I'm a bit stuffy! But honestly, I'm just following my nose to the best eating spots!

Image 12/29

@ Cicadas
Applesauce was sprawled flat on the grass after a good lunch. “What do you reckon is the tiniest creature we've met so far, Timothy Churchmouse?” he queried sleepily.
Timothy Churchmouse pondered. “Perhaps that gerbil?”
"Mmm. Or would it be the hummingbird, maybe?"
Cicadas
Well, finding food is easier in pairs, meet my BFF Amy!

@ Golden Pheasant
“Oh hello, Timothy Churchmouse!” cried Twitch. “Didn’t we bump into each other in Turkey back in the spring? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it!”
"It certainly is!" declared Timothy Churchmouse.
Golden Pheasant
My brilliant plumage has also earned me the nickname of Rainbow Pheasant, and my gorgeous array of feathers originally hailed from China, but you'll find that we were a desired export, and have adapted well to other places!

@ Hummingbird
“It's so cool to have a species name in Latin as well as English, Timothy Churchmouse!” said Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly), studying the detail in the tour guide. "What would we each called in Latin?"
"I don't know," said Timothy Churchmouse. "We'll look it up when we get back to the hotel tonight!"
Hummingbird
When planning your garden, please be sure to add some brightly colored reds and purples, with sweet nectars! My favorite to bury my beak in and sip of the yummy-ness within!

@ Garden Snail with Hawthorn Berries
Oh look ... you won a pet!
Garden Snail with Hawthorn Berries
Ooh, look at me, I'm all decked out and ready for the red carpet! *pixabay 3779859*

@ Galapagos Iguana
“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Miss Flicka. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.”
“C’mon, Miss Flicka, it’ll be fine—it’s not so very big; it's a trick of perspective, and anyway, it’s looking forward to meeting us!” said Timothy Churchmouse.
Galapagos Iguana
Iguana, I wanna! I wanna iguana go with you to explore the wilds!

@ Cotton Topped Tamarin Monkey
“You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, Puff?" whispered Timothy Churchmouse. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” Puff reassured Timothy Churchmouse that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, attractiveness and/or pointiness of teeth.
Cotton Topped Tamarin Monkey
Cotton Top is a great name for me, it looks like a lovely ball of fluff, and when the breeze blows gently through it, I look like Fabio on the cover of a paperback book!

@ Flamingoes in the Fog
Timothy Churchmouse and Kellogg were entranced at reaching this stopping place and eagerly posed for a picture standing on either side of the attractive creature they had just met!
Flamingoes in the Fog
Wading out in the cool river early in the morning, the mists giving way to pale rose sunlight, matching our plumage, it's going to be a great day!

@ Hooded Cobra
“I’m going to buy that inflatable toucan from the gift shop, Timothy Churchmouse,” announced Rainz. “It looks such fun!”
“I think I’ll go for the inflatable parrot! It’s just the job when splashing about in the garden pool in this warm weather!” responded Timothy Churchmouse.

Hooded Cobra
Even a simple photo of me causes hearts to speed up and fear to seep out your pores, heh! Heh! Heh! Fear me!

Image 20/29

@ Yellow Butterfly
Timothy Churchmouse and Sweetie agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Timothy Churchmouse and Sweetie exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels!
Yellow Butterfly
Perching precariously on thistle, we don't mind if it's a little prickly! The delicious nectars are some of our favorite, making summer the best season of the four!

@ Bumble Bee
While Timothy Churchmouse paused to drink in the view, Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly) started scrabbling in his rucksack for his portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly)?” asked Timothy Churchmouse. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!”
Bumble Bee
Call me Queen Supreme Ruler please. So much of your food and world depends on me being, well, busy as a bee! Please don't swat me, or spray me, I just want to gather pollen and help fruit trees multiply output and so much more!

@ Common Garden Snail
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Timothy Churchmouse. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Olivia Anna glanced up from her tour guide, in which she had been looking up where they were going the next day. “How come you're so hungry, Timothy Churchmouse?”
Timothy Churchmouse pouted. "I was just unwrapping my lunch pack when a creature ran down the tree behind me, grabbed the lot and shot back up the tree!"
"Bad luck!" sympathised Olivia Anna. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

Common Garden Snail
Nocturnal by nature, you'll find me hiding by day in the dark leafy greens in your garden. We tried to ramp up our street cred by saying we were vampires, but we lacked the fangs to back up the claim.

@ Brazilian Anteater
“What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Timothy Churchmouse. Dai agreed with Timothy Churchmouse. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!”
Brazilian Anteater
Somewhere there's a blue anteater hanging around with a pink panther, but that's now who I am, although, I really do love ants! You'll find me in the rainforest, slurping up ants like a pro!

Image 24/29

@ Green Snake
Pingu studied the itinerary thoughtfully for some time. “There's a lion-tailed macaque and a lion-headed goldfish,” he remarked. “Do you think there's a lion-tummied creature that we'll meet?”
Timothy Churchmouse snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Pingu!"
Green Snake
Slithering silently, and native to North America, I'm hard to find in the greens of summer!

@ Costa Rican Moth
“I’m going to buy that inflatable toucan from the gift shop, Timothy Churchmouse,” announced Paxton. “It looks such fun!”
“I think I’ll go for the inflatable parrot! It’s just the job when splashing about in the garden pool in this warm weather!” responded Timothy Churchmouse.

Costa Rican Moth
Yeah, yeah I know! "It's so cute!" I hear it all the time! I was really going for fierce and scare the birds, but in a twist of fate, I make them laugh.

Image 26/29

@ Yellow Mongoose
“How do you do?” said Timothy Churchmouse to their amazing and friendly new acquaintance on their mini-safari, shaking paws.
Ariella chipped in. “It’s so kind of you to allow us to visit you in your habitat. Timothy Churchmouse and I—and all the rest of us, of course!—are enjoying our mini-safari very much indeed!”
Yellow Mongoose
Golden fur covers me, hence my name! I live mainly in Africa munching on small critters in the night, and my Mongoose family have a fierce reputation for winning battles with Cobras, but we avoid it when we can!

@ Fire Salamander
“Oh hello, Timothy Churchmouse!” cried Seattle. “Didn’t we bump into each other in Turkey back in the spring? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it!”
"It certainly is!" declared Timothy Churchmouse.
Fire Salamander
Fire Salamander! Yeah, because you can see my hotness shimmer through and decorate my skin...

@ Little Lizard
"Hey there, Timothy Churchmouse! Did you hear how Fresco fell off the landing stage into the sea while trying to get a better view of one of the creatures?"
"He was still squelching when he got back on the tour bus, Ciaré!"
Little Lizard
She may be small, but she is mighty!

@ Cobra Strike
Timothy Churchmouse has now met enough "Exotic" pets to last a lifetime. As he exits the experience, he receives a wonderful gift!
Valley Between the Hills
The hidden valley between these hills is a popular locale for the smaller pets of PnF. Housing a city most pets overlook, the tiny prints of pets have made history with the largest tiny museum, art gallery, and comedy club in existence.

Cobra Strike
Rearing up and giving a final warning that I am not someone to be trifled with. Walk away, slowly and quietly...
Timothy Churchmouse has enjoyed meeting "Exotic" pets, but it is time to go home now! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also meet pets of every shape and size!
